The Spice Girls Spice World UK tour starts this Monday
With the shows just days away, go behind the scenes at their rehearsals.
The UK leg of Spice Girls 2019 tour kicks off with a huge show at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Monday 27 May 2019.
After Cardiff, the tour rolls into Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Bristol and London.
Ahead of the dates, the foursome have shared some behind the scenes snaps from the tour’s rehearsals, giving fans a glimpse of what they can expect from the shows, including a sneak peek at the epic set design.
Two decades after the Spice Girls revolutionised the ’90s pop landscape, the history-making girl band are back and bringing tonnes of girl-power with them.
These dates mark the band’s first performance together since the London 2012 Olympics.
The five-piece became the era-defining, best-selling female group of all time. However, due to business commitments, Victoria Beckham will not be joining the rest of the Spice Girls on this tour.
“Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour,” Beckham says. “I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time!”
So here’s the story from A to Z – Spice Girls rose to fame in 1996, releasing debut album Spice, including the massive single Wannabe. Wannabe topped the charts in 37 countries, and Spice became the best-selling album of all time by a female group.
The five-piece continued their ’90s world domination, following up with the albums Spiceworld in 1997 and Forever in 2000. The band also released and starred in British musical comedy film, Spice World in 1997.
In December 2000, the girls decided to go on an indefinite hiatus and concentrate on motherhood and their solo projects. Following solo success, all five original members reunited to tour in June 2007, as well as releasing their Greatest Hits record which featured two new tracks including single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends).
The girl group have won multiple awards over their career, including five BRIT Awards, one for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.
Fans can expect to hear all the girls’ greatest career-spanning hits including 2 Become 1, Stop, Wannabe, Spice Up Your Life, Mama and more.
